Background and Interest in Governance
I have one child at Bevendean School and another due to start. As I felt I was emerging from the trenches of parenting very young children, I started to think about how I could become involved in something new and use the skills and experience I have, in a different way. I have been deeply impressed by the nurturing, inclusive culture of Bevendean Primary School and the warm relationships I can see that the teachers have with the children. I have also always been interested in education and recognise its importance for children. I felt that I wanted to get involved and make a contribution.
In my own career, I have worked in the Criminal Justice System for around fifteen years, most recently in a seconded role which has involved mentoring and training other practitioners, and quality assurance work.
Hobbies and interests
I am a huge reader; I have always had my head in a book since I was tiny. I also love reading aloud to my children and doing the characters' voices! One of my heroes is Michael Rosen; I am inspired by his connection with children, his ability to engage them, make them laugh and make reading accessible.
I also love music and trees!!
